American Indian Prof Pulled From Classroom After Discriminating Against White Student

A school pulled an American Indian professor who discriminated against a white student from the classroom, according to a Monday report.

San Diego State University suspended American Indian lecturer Oscar “Ozzie” Monge from teaching three American Indian writing rhetoric sections after he threatened to lower white student Crystal Sudano’s grade when she expressed support for the school’s Aztec mascot, reported The College Fix.

“The AS (Associated Students) is something else that confuses me…the way it’s structured, the way it runs and how damned white it is,” Monge told the student, critiquing the organization that had voted to keep the mascot.

The lecturer also critiqued Sudano’s use of the phrase “totem pole” when the white student said everyone’s opinions should be heard “no matter how low on the totem pole you are.” Monge’s behavior caused Sudano to withdraw from his class, according to the California Department of Justice (DOJ).

“Monge retaliated against Sudano…after she complained to [him] about his discriminatory and harassing conduct, and appeared to undermine Monge’s thesis in the mascot resolution debate,” California DOJ officials said. “Monge told Sudano that her grade would be lowered, ultimately causing her to seek a constructive withdrawal from [his] class.”
